It was the fourth lopsided loss for Portland in the series as the defending Western Conference champion Spurs flexed their muscle in four double-digit beatings. Wesley Matthews, who averaged 13.2 points and 5.2 rebounds in five games against the Spurs, said the Blazers can learn a lot from the way the San Antonio easily dispatched them in the series.

"It's the little things that wins," Matthews says in the video above. "It's the little things, it's the hustle stats, it's the rebounds, It's sustaining energy, edge for 48 minutes. There's no let up. Every time we let up they made us pay. I don't know how much of that is the, being on a hot streak, or how much of that was us, but they made us pay every time."
